Drinking Liberally — Seattle

It’s been a wild couple of years feeling like our democracy has been held together with spit and bailing wire. Today, we’ve wheeled ‘er into the pits to clean off the grunge, replace some nuts and a few bolts, do some serious alignment and, perhaps, a rebuilt the top end. Please join us Tuesday evening for an Election Day rally at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

The Roanoke will have TVs tuned to election coverage. They have free WiFi. And you can buy drinks! If you insist on hearing every word of coverage, bring headphones and a device to stream audio. What can I say? Bars can be noisy.

We’ll be live-blogging the election right here.

Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the 259 chapters of Living Liberally, including 22 in Washington state, seven in Oregon and three in Idaho. Find a chapter near you. Or consider starting your own chapter.

Doctor Dumbfuck is spending the night restocking his bunker with survival rations, canned water, and candles. It could get rather gloomy down there before this day is over. Without Puddy (R.I.P.) to keep him company, a horse will have to do.

Although this reminds me. YLB, maybe just to be on the safe side you should take your Midol a little earlier this evening.

“CERTAIN READERS MAY HAVE A NERVOUS REACTION”: THE NEW YORK TIMES ELECTION NEEDLE IS BACK, WITH A FEW NEW SAFETY FEATURES

The needle, which debuted with Trump vs. Clinton, is a symbol of the speed with which political hopes can be upended, as well as the maddening uncertainty of polling—and liberals are still deeply haunted by it.

I suppose this means that in those thousands of cases where Teh Dumbfuck pencil whipped his reads and killed another patient he papered over it with days of manic, strident pronouncements blaming everyone else.

QoS, I’m jus’ sayin’ that for all those libbie womenz to truly make a difference, the next march should feature pink pussy. Ditch the hats and the trousers and the helium-filled Trump baby balloon and just go with the vajayjays.

I see Dr. Dumbfuck is up early and spewing his full on hate and bs this morning. He must be very excited, I pity his horse and other barnyard animals tonight because win or lose, it is gonna be rough on them tonight.

However racist, homophobic, mysognistic, and hateful he is, I will defend his right to vote. Being willing to defend the right to vote of someone you disagree with is a huge difference between he and I and the candidates and parties we support.

@7 that’s good, but I doubt anyone here has learned anything from you, other than you are always more wrong than ever right and that horses can be man’s best friend even if the horse rather kick you in the balls than wag its tail.

if godwin was my only republican data point, I would conclude that all conservatives hated and were terrified by powerful women, hated and were terrified by minorities, hated and were terrified by gays, hated and were terrified by progressive ideas and lived for gotchas, finding some tiny example to try to invalidate the whole. Privilege and money were their only goals and they would abandon any values they claimed to follow if it would help them keep control of their money and privilege. They don’t argue the strength and validity of their ideas and admit when they are beaten by their betters, instead they muddy the waters with nasty personal character attacks.

@23 I personally think that it is or was up +145 today, after positive gains for the last 4-5 days, because they are afraid of an ass kicking coming up and trying to avert it by giving the impression of this “great booming” economy. They along with The Hump live on fiction.

If it were down over the last few days then they (Wall Street) would be afraid that those that might be sitting on the fence politically wouldn’t vote for a Repuke. These guys are not to be trusted.

I think it is a sign that he is very unhappy in his personal life, and envious of those that have more than him, so he takes it out on those that have less than him because you know, they are the problem in his life.

Think about it – Why would anyone happy in life be like that? It’s how Repukes get you to vote for them.

Of course you shouldn’t trust Wall Street, but you can try to understand which direction their greed is coming from. Wall Street doesn’t mind a Democratic House takeover, and maybe even likes the idea a little bit, because a gridlocked government can’t do anything bad to them. These people are anarchists at heart, which is consistent with their looter mentality; a non-functioning government makes stealing easier.

Dr. Dumbfuck went silent rather early this morning. He must have had to have his cup of coffee and then off to dissuade women and people of color that today is really not the day to vote, or more like their voted doesn’t count, why waste time being in line. That or he is busy out removing mailboxes on the island or in Oregon.

My predictions? Come tomorrow, the loon (RIP) will still be lynched, we still won’t have a real Russian troll, but at least we’ll still have a dumbfuck. In fact, win or lose, I foresee an awful lot of dumbfuckery in our future.

If the Democrats get control of the House and the Republicans maintain control of the Senate, it will be good for investors. A divided legislative branch means less interference from idiots on both ends of the political spectrum.

People placing bets don’t back the Dem House prospects nearly to the extent that 538 and other prognosticators might suggest.

Probably worth calibrating expectations. At PredictIt, a financial market of sorts on political outcomes, contracts imply: There’s a 71% chance Democrats will take control the House; There’s an 88% chance the Republicans will retain control of the Senate; There’s a 62% chance of a Democratic House and a Republican Senate.

That’s a useful way of thinking about what happens and how financial markets will react tonight and/or Wednesday.

Government unions in the northwest have seen a massive decline in membership rates since state workers earned the right to relinquish their membership, according to research unveiled earlier this week.

The Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit think tank, found that unions in the northwest alone have since lost 25,000 members.

The group’s research also found that decline in membership accounts for a $27 million annual loss in union revenue.

Typical conservative troll, wants to live in the past. Hillary isn’t on the ballot so if she wants to drink it is her right. Sheeshhh, talk about having the HA dumbfuck market cornered, you have it nailed down for sure.

Huh.. A black guy couldn’t possibly be re-elected to a SECOND TERM to the highest office in the land.. Nah, no way..

Just like that same black guy couldn’t possibly be born in this country.

Just like that same black guy couldn’t possibly win against a white Mormon used car salesman whose favorite meat is “hot dog” and thought two of the largest manufacturing concerns in this country should “be allowed to go though the bankruptcy process”. Oh and 47 percent of Americans pay no taxes? No payroll tax? No sales tax? No excise? Not one penny of tax passed on to them when they make rent or buy something retail?

So, I guess it all evens out in the end. Dems lose a Senate seat but felons get to vote.

PERRY BACON JR.9:04 PM Interestingly — Democratic candidates for governor and Senate are trailing in Florida, but the constitutional amendment that was strongly backed by Democratic activists to restore voting rights to felons in Florida has been adopted, according to CNN.
